as far as I can see, the major points are (ignoring similarities):

CDJ-800
-much cheaper
-0.05% pitch accuracy (less accurate)
-Auto-looping controls
-smaller internal memory, no external memory
-no wave display

CDJ-1000
-expensive
-0.02% pitch accuracy
-no auto-looping, but possibly better loop controls overall (need to confirm)
-external memory
-wave display

please feel free to add to or edit this as appropriate. so I guess I'm stuck wondering, just what is it that the 1000 does that the 800 doesn't, aside from adjust pitch more precisely? It seems that they both do almost exactly the same things, but it's just easier with one than the other. Is it really worth an extra $600 each for these functions? Jonas, can you take a few seconds away from banging dave's mom to explain why you'd pick the 800, having used both?

the .02 is golden in my mind..also the wav display....i dont know ...maybe its cuz im used to having 1000s but i cant stand using 800s now if they are at some club i play at

Hey bro, the reality is that if they are never going to leave your house and they are only for a bedroom studio, 800's are the way to go. You hit every point in your post about the difference (with a couple of technical difference in addition). But, I thought about 1000's when I was getting new decks and found out that I didn't need to get them. Ask anyone on here and they will most likely agreee, with the exception of Dave who is an elitist nazi scumbag.

See, that's my point though. There better be 1000's at any club. That's just the standard. But, outside of that I don't really think it's necessary to have them for mixing at home.

OK Akio. You slacking on us. No lurking.

800s for sure mate, the 1000s are just totally overpriced. The 800s are expensive enough, but they're damn good decks and just as easy to use as the 1000s. Fuck the 1000s. On a side note, if you miss vinyl so much, why not consider buying Serato or better yet, Torq which cheap as chips? Do you already have turntables?

I'm talking about how you use them at home, dil-hole. If you just want to have some high quality tables to use at home and aren't crazy about paying 1300 buck per table, then the 800's will be satisfactory.

Did you get dropped a lot when you were a baby?
